SCALE SPECULATIONS

PLUG-IN Multiple “SCALE SPECULATIONS”
(in: 2003 “Experimenta’s Design”)


1. Concept

by Gonçalo Furtado

multiple SCALE SPECULATIONS
A lecture and workshop cycle contemplating speculations throughout different scales in contemporary design and architecture, aiming to map new problems and future answers.

This updating of design and architecture’s practices is based on the contemporary instability and points to the creation of innovating imaginary worlds and dynamic interventions.

Its an act of thinking the future, not wishing to produce a static and complete image, but to send out an alert on the expectations ahead of us, whom which we build the present.
